All the economists begging for Warsh to keep rates on hold in September is just beyond embarrassing
The Fed hasn’t hit its mandated 2% in 5 years… FIVE
Get your heads out of your rears
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if we fell into a new metaverse or what, but this type of news in the current environment isn't moving the oil price by an inch
Truly unbelievable times
SpaceX $SPCX traded 256 million shares yesterday.
The entire public float is 556 million.
So in one day, almost half of every tradable share changed hands. Bought and sold, over and over, in a few hours.
Here's why that number is absurd. SpaceX sold 555.6 million shares at $135 to raise $75 billion. That float is barely 4% of the company. Musk and insiders hold the other 96%, locked up and unable to sell.
Tiny supply. Enormous demand. Index funds that have to own it, retail that wants to, traders chasing the move.
The result is a $2 trillion company that trades like a penny stock. Up to $211 pre-market, swinging double-digit percentages between coffees.
This is what happens when you list 4% of the seventh-largest company in America and let the world fight over the scraps.
The price isn't telling you what SpaceX is worth.
It's telling you how few shares there are to buy.
if this ends up badly I would not be surprised to see exchanges start enforcing minimum float requirements on large cap IPO's.
for ref, $SPCX is 4-5% shares tradeable, just tapped $3T fully diluted in overnight session ($135B tradeable).
10-20% float is common for other largecaps IPOs though it has been shrinking more recently.
all of this going into options becoming available tomorrow, giving insiders the opportunity to properly hedge/retail to pile into far otm calls. weird times!
